    if that results, more's the better.....i'm going off a quote by fiat america boss, who said something to the effect that TV advertising would be unreasonably expensive to use.....who knows, i can't see any campaign without air-time

    i'll take an abarth 695 edition please :)

    Don't screen your calls over the next few days...from another board:

    "I have just been called by a representative of FIAT; I had some trouble hearing what she was saying as I was in a coffee shop, but basically she said the actual dealer in question (Brooklyn Center, MN) would be calling me in the next week and that the car should be arriving in roughly 17-21 days. I'm surprised no one else has posted being called yet as I'm Prima # 398.

    The number showed up on my phone as "Unknown," so don't screen your calls today! "

    LOL makes me laugh, thinking about days in school, and making my answering machine message up for the local radio station contest..."i love *** Fm radio, now give me my money!"

    ....instead, change your answering message to "i love fiat, now give me my 500!" :)

    Has anyone else got this phone call? I'm still waiting, and I'm going to be out of the country for a week and a half soon... Only phone call I've got was one from the casting agency for some promo video they're doing.

    I have heard of 4-5 people getting the call. They should be done by next week. I'd say if you are not reachable, maybe reach out to them at 1-888-CIAO-FIAT

    Deliveries are estimated to be 17-21 days from now, so yes, mid-March.

    Just got a call (and voicemail as I couldn't answer it :( ) from FIAT wanting to confirm delivery location of my PE.

    FYI, as mentioned earlier it does come up as an Unregistered number, with 905 area code.

    Finally was able to call them back.


    Salt Lake City for me.


    Looks like I may have to stop by Steve Harris Imports and drool over some other Italian models :)

    How did they do that? Also, did they say how long it would take to get your car?

    I got the call on saturday afternoon, I am 5 miles from Fiat of Hartford and guess what , My Prima is coming in at Larchmont, I called and spoke to Alfredo in length about the process. He said the cars are expected by the end of the month, and because I am 80 miles from Larchmont, they are going to deliver the car via flat bed truck. He is very happy to have Fiat back in this country , he was a original Fiat dealer back in the Day. I guess I will wait and see how this process will be completed.

    Did it via Skype, I was sitting in my living room.

    They said the dealer would call in the next few days to make all of the final arrangements. .

    Same here.

    At least we now know where the cars are being delivered to.
